The key difference between an EPD in the EPD Compiler format and a PDF lies in how the information is managed, presented, and integrated. The EPD Compiler format uses structured data entry, enabling easier updates, automated EPD document generation, and seamless integration with APIs for data exchange. This structured approach makes it easier for verifiers and end users to locate specific information quickly without navigating through lengthy PDF documents.
In contrast, a PDF is a static document uploaded directly to the EPD Portal, with unstructured information that is not optimised for integration or automation. Additionally, the use of multiple PDF versions can further lead to confusion, making it challenging for users to identify the most accurate and up-to-date data.'
